“Are you nervous?”

I AM SO NERVOUS. Gulp.

Alison and I discussed this feeling this morning.

“Are you excited?”

I AM SO EXCITED. Whew.

Before I say anything else, let me make it clear that my excitement for this trip FAR outweighs my nerves. In ten days I will be on a plane to Boston where I will get on a plane to FLY ACROSS AN OCEAN and land in Dublin, Ireland. Another country. Another continent. Woah.

A dream is coming true.
